Puppy Galore!  🐶🐾

the day is so lovely—she’s sunlit and she’s perfect—and i don’t know if it’s the dreamy light or the magic that is monday or the fact that i remembered to drink water for the first time in a week but i’m sitting at my desk absolutely thrilled to be organizing my day and sorting through data and diving into research

This is the Eta Carinae Nebula! ✨✨✨

Due to its eruption in the 1840s, the mass of this stunning nebula has been challenging to measure. The colorful dust also dims the star’s ultraviolet and visible light by reradiating the shorter, more energetic light through longer wavelengths like infrared light! ❤❤❤

This is the Prawn Nebula! 🦐🍤🦐🍤🦐🍤

Not only does it have a strange name, but its other nickname is the "False Comet" as it has that comet-like shape. This massive stellar nursery has "O-type" stars, which are young, massive, luminous stars that die quickly due to their brightness and recycle their materials to form new stars in this nebula! 💫💫💫

This is the Dumbbell Nebula! ⏳⏳⏳

Similar to many other planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula has a pattern of dark and bright knots made of gas and dust. These beautiful, ornate features are formed when stellar winds don’t fully blow away the nebula’s material and they leave a trail behind! 💘💘💘

One of the most difficult collections ever: the Caldwell object collection! ♥♥♥

Taking around 6 months to complete, this was one of the longest collections ever! Many of these objects could be photographed during specific times of the year so I often had to wait months before I could take a picture. 🎇🎆🌌✨💫

The Exploding Galaxy is a starburst galaxy which may have been deformed by M81, another neighboring galaxy. 🌌

Starting in April 2010, the Exploding Galaxy started sending out strange radio signals and scientists to this day don’t understand them yet... 👽👽👽

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for all the support for my astrophotography blog! I just wanted to let you guys know that I have started a project and a blog about light pollution.

As an avid astrophotographer, light pollution has affected me in a variety of ways - most notably by messing up my pictures 😂

I attached the Project DeLight link to this post. I’m also gathering data about outdoor light features across the world: https://forms.gle/UER8BtStqWktf2kn6 - the form will only take about 1-2 minutes and I’ve already posted about the first batch of data in the DeLight blog. 

Thank you everyone!

Join Slooh for a special Star Party Live on Sunday, June 13th at 1 PM EST! ✨✨✨

The Slooh Ambassadors (which includes me) have been working on this Women are From Venus star party that hopes to encourage women to participate in astronomy! 🎊🎊🎊

Jenny McFarlane will be discussing how she expands astronomy outreach at her planetarium! There will also be other talks made by other Slooh women who are passionate about space. 🙌🙌🙌

All you need to do is to make a free account at Slooh.com and then watch the star party on the website! If you are a woman and would like to participate in the Zoom, send an email to paul@slooh.com for the Zoom passcode. Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you can attend 💖💖💖

Day 2(7)/30 of #30dol

I can’t choose between Noteshelf and OneNote, they’re both great but I’m very indecisive on which I’ll be permanently using. Anyways, today was a slow day so I studied less. Btw some time next week or this week, i’ll be posting my shopee haul ! See you <3 

This is the Orion Nebula! 🤩🤩🤩

It’s the closest star forming region to Earth and even visible without a telescope. In this image alone, there are almost 3000 stars! ✨✨✨

Some people think the Orion Nebula resembles a turkey - its body is the wide circular part and its head is the small circle off of the nebula. Can you see it? I hope you enjoy this stunning image for Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃
